Danny Tang won the 9-Game High Roller at APT Incheon on Friday night, claiming the Gold 2D Lion Silhouette Trophy and $19,729.
It was also a landmark victory for the Hong Kong pro and Triton regular who has more than $44 million in live tournament earnings.
When Tang beat Japan's Takuro Yamashiki heads-up, he became the first player to win all three 2D Lion Silhouette trophies. Among Tang's five APT titles, he won the Silver and Black versions of the coveted trophies at APT Jeju last year.
